Public security authorities nationwide have found 2,609 missing and abducted children since January, one of whom had been missing for 61 years, said an official with the Ministry of Public Security on Tuesday.
They have also resolved 147 cases of child abduction and trafficking and arrested 372 suspects, said Tong Bishan, deputy head of the ministry’s Criminal Investigation Bureau.
On June 1, the ministry released the addresses and telephone numbers of more than 3,000 free blood testing sites part of the Tuanyuan operation, which was launched in January to find the missing children. Tuanyuan means “reunion” in English.
Nearly 10,000 people volunteered to have their blood tested at the sites, and so far 306 families have been reunited, Tong said.
After searching for over 24 years, 51-year-old Guo Gangtang was recently reunited with his missing son, Guo Xinzhen, thanks to the help of the police. His now 26-year-old son was abducted in 1997 at the age of two and in 2015, Guo’s story was made into the movie Lost and Love starring Hong Kong actor, Andy Lau.
In June, public security experts used the latest testing and matching methods to successfully trace the son to Henan province. After the DNA was retested, the police finally confirmed his identity. Later, two suspects involved in the case were captured.

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it — the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success — you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的) tool”

Two patients underwent kidney(肾脏)transplants at the Shifa, Gaza’s biggest public hospital. The operations were conducted a fortnight ago by a volunteer medical team from the Royal Liverpool hospital.
Ziad Matouk, 42, was born with one kidney and was diagnosed with renal failure(肾衰竭)several years ago. Matouk, whose wife donated one of her kidneys, hopes to return to his job within six months. The couple had sought a transplant in Cairo, but were rejected as unsuitable at a state hospital and could not afford the fee at a private hospital. “We were desperate,” said Matouk.
The UK-Gaza link-up began about a year ago after Abdelkader Hammad, a doctor at the Royal Liverpool hospital, was contacted by an anaesthetist(麻醉师)at the Shifa, who outlined the difficulties the Gaza hospital was facing with dialysis(透析). The Shifa is forced to rely on generators because of power cuts; spare parts for its ageing dialysis machines have been difficult to import; and supplies of consumables are often scarce. After an exploratory trip last April, Hammad---whose family is Palestinian---and three colleagues from Liverpool arrived in Gaza via Egypt last month, bringing specialist equipment. Two patients were selected for surgery. The first, Mohammed Duhair, 42, received a kidney donated by his younger brother in a six-hour operation. Two days later, Matouk received a transplant after his wife, Nadia, 36, was found to be a good match. The surgeon was carried out by the British team, assisted by doctors and nurses from the Shifa. “We are very satisfied with the results,” said Sobbi Skaik, head of surgery at the Gaza hospital.
Skaik hopes that Gaza medical teams will eventually carry out kidney transplants independently, and that other organ transplants may follow. The Shifa is working with the Gaza ministry of health on a plan to train its doctors, surgeons, nursing staff and laboratory technicians in transplant surgery at the Royal Liverpool. “Funding is a problem,” said Hammad. “In the meantime we’ll go back as volunteers to Gaza for the next couple of years to do more transplants.” The Liverpool team’s next visit is scheduled for May.

【推荐1】JIANLI, Hubei Province, June 2 (Xinhua) — A cruise ship carrying more than 450 people sank in the Yangtze River overnight, which could be China’s worst sinking disaster in decades. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, 14 people had been rescued from the capsized vessel, with five others confirmed dead. The rest are still missing, although rescuers said there could be more survivors. Strong winds and heavy rain are hampering rescue efforts.
The Eastern Star sank in only 15 meters of water “within one or two minutes” of being caught in freak weather in Jianli, according to the ship’s captain and chief engineer who survived the incident. The ship left the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing on May 28 bound for Chongqing Municipality.
The ship was carrying 403 passengers, five tour guides, and 46 crew, rather than the previously reported 47. Most passengers were tourists from Shanghai and its neighboring province of Jiangsu, aged between 3 and 83, with most in their 60s and 70s.
The 76.5-meter-long and 11-meter-wide vessel has been in service for nearly 20 years and can carry up to 534 people. It is owned by Chongqing Dongfang Shipping. Waterway officials said they have no record of the company being involved in any previous sinking incidents.
According to weather forecast, most of the Yangtze basin will be subject to downpours over the next 10 days, with heavy rain expected in the area where the search is underway.
Police, waterway authorities and fire departments have sent more than 150 boats and over 4,000 personnel to the scene. The Chinese Navy has sent diving forces to search for the missing. The team is composed of soldiers from the navy’s fleets in the North Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea, as well as students of the Naval University of Engineering. In addition, five helicopters were dispatched from Beijing and Hubei’s provincial capital of Wuhan on Tuesday morning, along with an IL-76 transport plane.

【推荐2】Washington’s reported plan to announce new limits on China’s access to US chip technology will severely disturb the global semiconductor sector (半导体行业), which has already been struggling with risks of division in the COVID-19 pandemic, experts said on Thursday. Their comments came after Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that the US Commerce Department is expected to put forward a series of rules this week governing which semiconductor technologies can be exported to China.
Bai Ming, deputy director of international market research at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said the reported move would be part of a broader push by Washington, to cut China off from the rest of the world in chip supply chains. He also added that it is a move that would be unrealistic and have painful results. “Such an attempt will strike not just US chip companies, but the global semiconductor industrial chain too. Recent years, China has become the biggest chip market and it has growing influence in semiconductor manufacturing,” Bai said. “Those moves would harm global chip companies, which count on China to make a profit,” said Pan Helin, co-director of Zhejiang University’s International Business School.
The Chinese mainland imports more than $300 billion of semiconductors annually, and most, though not all, major US semiconductor companies get at least 25 percent of their sales from the Chinese mainland market, according to an article by Christopher Thomas on the Brookings Institution’s website. “Access to this big market is essential to the success of any globally competitive chip firm today and in the future. A cooperation between China and the US is beneficial to the world.” The Semiconductor Industry Association, a Washington-based group, said in a report.
Zhong Xinlong, a senior consultant at the Beijing-based China Center, said such limits will motivate Chinese companies to achieve breakthroughs. In 2015, the US government blocked Intel from supplying its high-end processors to China’s supercomputer builders. Under the pressure, Chinese researchers came up with self-developed processors a year later, Zhong said.
1. What will happen if new chip limit measures are issued?A.It has little influence on China’s chip market. |
B.The chip supply chain between China and other countries will be cut off immediately. |
C.It will have a great impact on the global semiconductor industry. |
D.The income of US chip Industry will increase. |

B.American chip technology is not particularly important to China. |
C.Without American chip technology, we cannot achieve breakthroughs. |
D.We can develop new chips year later. |
A.China’s chip technology will have a rapid development. |
B.Limits against China would affect all players in semiconductor industry. |
C.The United States has far-reaching influence on Chinese chips. |
D.China and the United States should strengthen cooperation in semiconductor technology. |
【推荐3】When no one else was able to save a drowning (溺水的) 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.
11-year-old Adam was hanging out at the pool of his apartment building with his family when the man sank (下沉) to the bottom of the deep end, his arms spread out and his eyes wide from eight feet down in the water.
Surprisingly, Adam was the only one at the pool who could swim at the time. Before his family had moved to St. Paul, Minnesota three years ago, his parents had never had the ability to take swimming lessons. Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. “Some survival skills are a must,” his father said.
When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.
Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.
A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands. Doctors then arrived and took the man to the hospital where he has since made a full recovery (恢复). The man stopped by the boy’s house later the very same week to thank him for saving his life.
“It’s simply wonderful,” said Adam’s uncle. “If he had not been there, I don’t know. I’m sure it would not be a happy ending.” Adam’s father also says that he plans on taking swimming lessons with his son in the near future.
